Apply now for Northumberland Hills Hospital Scholarship
Cecilia Nasmith/Today’s Northumberland
Northumberland Hills Hospital reminds local high-school students of the Feb. 15 deadline to apply for this year’s Health Professions Scholarship.
The hospital introduced the scholarship in 2003 in support of West Northumberland students who are pursuing a career in the health-are sector, with the hope that these young people might one day choose to return to their home community to practice.
Evaluations are made on the basis of academic achievements, extracurricular activities, a testimonial explaining applicants’ interest in their chosen profession, and written references. All applicants must be enrolled (or accepted for enrollment) in a full-time study program in a health field at a post-secondary institution.
The 2019 scholarship is $1,000 for each student selected, and the presentation will be made at a spring meeting o the hospital’s board of directors.
Full details (including a downloadable application form) are available on the Careers tab at nhh.ca.
